Starting at the end of the year,
preparations are being made for the following year’s Dream Team.
These preparations include planning equipment needs and
recruiting mentors. Also included are scheduled meetings to
improve the experiences of the youth and to increase the number of
youth to train and successfully complete RAGBRAI. |

Applicants
The Dream Team
seeks
applicants in the school system by working with teachers and
employees of the SUCCESS and PACE programs. Prospects
and their parents and guardians are invited to meetings where the
program is explained to insure that the prospects understand the
commitment required to participate.
Participants are not required to
pay for participation in the Dream Team. Costs for equipment, food,
some bike clothing, and all of the expenses for RAGBRAI are supplied
from funds donated to support the Dream Team. |
Mentors
Increased youth participation means recruiting of additional mentors
who will work with the riders to achieve the
goal of riding RAGBRAI
2005. |

Preparing Equipment
Part of the planning stage results in acquiring bikes, helmets,
gloves, and other related items needed to supply the participants.
All of the bikes are tuned and cleaned before participants are
fitted and assigned their equipment.
Equipment is stored at the Register and Tribune building where all
of the outdoor training rides start and finish. |

The Dream Team needs
you!
Think about becoming a mentor and making a difference... today.
